Zidane saw red after sick mother taunts
|
Taunts over Zinedine Zidane's poorly mother are being claimed as to spark that led to French ace's head-butt on Marco Materazzi in Sunday's World Cup final.
A lip-reader told The Sun that Materazzi called Zidane a "son of a terrorist whore" before the French Algerian was sent off in Sunday's explosive match.
A French Football Federation source also told The Sun: "If you insult Zidane's mother you are asking for trouble. Combine such words with a reference to terrorism, which French Algerians are very sensitive about, and a violent reaction might appear inevitable."
The clash that ended Zidane's glittering career in disgrace came after Materazzi tweaked his NIPPLE.
Top lip-reader Marianne Frere revealed the Italian told Zidane - who understands the language after playing for Juventus - a high ball was "not for feccia like you".
Feccia is an Italian insult meaning scum or s**t.
Zidane smiled at Materazzi as he walked away. But there was another exchange, Zidane turned and floored him with a butt to the chest. The lip-reader claimed the Italian had said: "We all know you are the son of a terrorist whore."
He added: "Viffanculo". (f*** off). A source close to the Italian squad claimed that after twisting Zidane's nipple, Materazzi asked him: "What, don't you like it?" The French captain replied: "A bit too hard to turn me on."
But Materazzi shouted: "Well, I did it that way because I know that's how your mother likes it."
Materazzi yesterday denied calling Zidane a terrorist. He said: "It is absolutely not true. I'm ignorant. I don't know what the word means."
Materazzi's agent denied any racist slur - and said the attack came when Zidane offered to swap shirts later and the Italian replied: "'I'd rather take the shirt off your wife."
